Stamps started with Torquay United despite being brought up in Birmingham and his obvious talent earned him a £10,000 move to Colchester United in 1997.

The left-footer moved to Harriers on a free in September 1999 after playing in the Second Division and his consistency at left-back has played a major part in their achievements.

Injuries have restricted his appearances at times, with this season no exception, but he will never shirk a tackle.

League appearances/goals: Torquay (92/93) 2, (93/94) 6, (94/95) 25/1, (95/96) 23/1, (96, 97) 30/3, Colchester 8, (97/98) 27/1, (98/99) 21, Harriers (2000/01) 34.

This season: 23 games, 1 sub appearance.

Status: First-choice left-back.
